4 Signs That Your Freshwater Fish isn’t Healthy

The Beautiful Frontosa
1. Disease: Most aquatic diseases are easy to spot. And if you can’t see the disease than one of the other 3 signs, will give it away. Some things to look for are spots or growths on their body or fins, irritated eyes, or loss of scales.
2. Irregular Eating: This sign usually takes a little longer for people to notice since we usually don’t watch our fish eat each and every time. But if your fish isn’t eating, it may be sick.
3. Trouble Swimming: You’d be surprised how easy it is for fish to get internal infections. These usually mess with your fishes buoyancy and will cause your fish to swim sideways, in the wrong direction, or even upside down.
4. Loss of Scales: As mentioned in point 1. This can either be cause by disease or your fish may be getting bullied by another fish.
